I didn't know anything about Israel Ocampo before the 9th race on Sunday 4/16 at Santa Anita, but boy did he do a great job on 23 to 1 Malko. He saved all the ground in a grass race where the temporary rails were up and you didn't want to go wide, sat inside and waited patiently into the stretch until the holes finally opened, and then shot his horse through to score the upset.

It's ironically interesting about those inside trips. When they work out, they're a thing of beauty. When they don't, the jock is vilified by the trip handicapping intelligentsia.

Such was the case for poor Luis Saez in the Carter. Chartman writes:

TOMMY MACHO saved ground near the rear, came under coaxing just off the inside midway on the turn, continued just off the inside for home, shifted to the rail three-sixteenths out, had GREEN GRATTO shy in in front, altered out to the two path and was met and bumped by UNIFIED, paused briefly in tight between foes near the sixteenth marker losing some momentum as a result before gathering himself torun on safe for the show honors.

Yes nice ride by Ocampo in here, definitely got an assist from Pena who rode his horse like he was a rabbit with no other intention other than making the favorite lose. Looked like Prat looked over at him with a WTF look down the backstretch more than once.

Irad Ortiz rode an incredible race on Melodramatic Miss on March 26 in the 9th.

He changed her running style and got her to stay straight and was able to get the Bob, that horse doesn't win any other way or with any other trip.

Stewart Elliott on Awesome Image in the 2nd at Santa Anita on Sunday the 23rd. He opened up on the field mid-race with a 13 to 1 shot and stole the race.

Joel Rosario in the finale at Belmont today. He did exactly what Jose Ortiz should have done but was too afraid to.

Flavien Prat on the Starlite Style in the first on Saturday 4/29 at Santa Anita. He somehow figured out that the leader was going 21 4/5 in a mile race, so he took his mount so far back last that he practically lost contact with the field. When the leaders tired, he flew down the outside in the stretch and won pretty easily. The proverbial stopwatch in the head.

I think we need to preface he was 3-5.

Honestly the most impressive part of ride was he was pinned on the rail had to steady and never panicked. Also when the horse hit the horse finally got out he had no idea what to do. Switched leads and tossed his head. Rosario never panics.

Kyle Frey on Online Request at 40 to 1 in the 1st at Santa Anita on Friday the 23rd. He took her out on the lead, slowed the pace down, and then opened up on the far turn, getting the jump on the field. She had just enough to hold on.

Chantal Sutherland on Rockport Babe in the 2nd on Sunday 6/25 at Santa Anita. Completely stole the race--opened a big lead in a 5 horse field and the 3/5 shot just couldn't catch her.

August 10, 4th race, Del Mar, Tyler Baze on Angel Allie.

He made a move that I first saw Eddie Dellahoussaye make on Deputy Governor in the Eddie Reed Handicap about 30 years ago.

There's a gap in the inner rail on the Del Mar turf course where the chute comes in from the infield. Baze, lacking room, waited until the gap and then turned his horse left into the chute and left the main course and shot through on the inside to win the race.

Jose Ortiz has given two of the better rides this year the last two racing days at Saratoga.

His ride on Tusk on Monday in the last was top notch and what he just did on Business Expense was as impressive. He seems to be the lone rider intent on saving ground on the grass.

Stewart Elliott on Avail in the 2nd race at Santa Anita on Sunday 10/8. He caught the frontrunners napping (and bearing out) on the turn and shot his mount through to grab control of the race.
